Foley! The Musical

It is the summer of 2009. Foley Monster has been suspended from Doggyspace for publishing a letter written by the Princess, who ruled over the kingdom of Doggyspace. The poorly written missive proved to many that the Princess was not fit to rule and a new, secure site was needed. As we open Foley is meeting with her trusted advisors Hobo Hudson, Hattie Mae, Ashton and Lily to decide if they should rise up against the Princess and start their own website emphasizing the Freedom to Bark.Act One, Scene One: Foley is at the dog part with her friends Hobo, Hattie Mae, Ashton and LilyFoley:I am not throwing away my barkI am not throwing away my barkHey, you, I’m a scrappy little dog,Yearning to freely write my blogAnd I’m not throwing away my barkI’m locked out of Doggyspace left in the coldI was just protecting a sick friend, sorry if I'm boldI put friendship ahead of the rulesThose who don't make me want to fight duelsWith every word, I tell the truthDogs can say more than ruffOnly seven years old but my dog age is olderNow the DS castle giving me the cold shoulderThis burden, this disadvantageI have to learn how to manageI need to bark, like a thirst to quenchI can't stand being on the benchMy voice has to be heardI need you to spread the wordThat the F-O-L-E-Y wants to createHer own dog web site that's rightIs any dog willing to stand up and fight?Stand with me through this dark nightThe Princess will surely issue a decreeTo keep her decendants from being freeSo we need a new site this centuryPlease listen I am more than a busy beeWant history to remember you?
